Very nice people. Unfortunately were unable to board my senior dog at the Singer Rd, Joppatowne, MD location. Unless you enroll your dog for training classes they don't provide boarding services. But they did refer me to Hickory Kennel in Harford County for boarding/kennel services.

Our puppy loves this place and so do we! They work with him for the day and he gets to play with his friends in a safe controlled environment. He also comes home tired which is a bonus.

BLK9 has been a lifesaver! Our dog came from Iraq last year, full of fear and anxiety which presented as aggression. She is a large dog and was very hard to handle in every way. In just a few short months, we have a different dog!
Everyone at BLK9 has been wonderful to work with. They are very knowledgeable and responsive. Working with both our dog … and us has been a great experience.

At this point, Blue Line K-9 is family! They have been a life saver for us! Our Snoopy loves everyone at Blue Line! We wouldn't trust anyone else with him. Thank you for ALL you have done for us! We are eternally grateful!

I brought my rescued GSD to Blueline in January of 2021. She was a little over a year old and was an abuse case from an Amish puppy mill. There had been instances where she bit people, and other dogs, and as an owner it was the most terrifying thing I’d ever endured. I was terrified I’d lose my baby, and I hated how scared she was. Blueline K9 helped me identify that she was indeed fear aggressive and developed a plan specifically for my dog. We started with K9 Country Club to boost her confidence level and help her realize not everything was a threat, and then moved onto the Ultimate training program. My girl finished her training in the Summer of 2021, and to this day I still take her to Blueline 2 days a week. Now the rest of my dogs go there as well, especially my working breeds. Whether it’s something big or small Blueline can handle it. If I could give them a 100/10 I would. They’ve not only given my dogs the confidence they need, but as an owner I have it too, and that is priceless in my book.
Their entire staff genuinely cares about your dogs the same way you do. There is no other trainer I would ever trust with my dogs. Hands down, they’re the best in the business and no one will tell me otherwise.

Everyone is very knowledgeable, friendly, understanding, and accommodating to me and my pup at Blue Line! We have really enjoyed our experience. My pup has been challenging in many ways and everyone at Blue Line is happy and ready to jump in and help us.

Amanda Billingham Owner/Trainer
Amanda Billingham lives to love dogs! She is a Massachusetts native and moved down to North Carolina in September of 2021. She was excited for a fresh start and to leave the cold snowy days behind! While establishing her passion for all things canine, into a life long career, Amanda spent 6 successful years in the dental field.
In 2016, Amanda became a Certified Dog Training Instructor. She spent 3 years building on her education and sharing knowledge with pet parents through other organizations. At that point Amanda opened her business “Aunty Amanda’s Pet Care and Dog Training”. While maintaining a successful business, she continued looking for more ways to share her training with pet owners far and wide.
Amanda believes that education is ever evolving. She maintains this by attending seminars, listening to podcasts and also reaching out to other trainers. It was through this search that she met Michael Soler with Blue Line K-9. Amanda says’ that she instantly knew that being a part of the Blue Line K-9 team was the perfect fit and a dream come true. A dream, established from her passion in helping dog owners form and maintain a great relationship with their dogs.
Amanda owns 3 dogs herself. A border collie/ blue heeler mix, Bailey. A golden retriever, Samson. And a Carolina mutt, Lucy. When Amanda is not training with clients or working with her dogs, you can find her at the gym, watching hockey, visiting breweries, hiking and finding fun spots to eat!
Amanda truly believes in the good that can come from every dog and strives to help each person or family, build on the good to get the great bond and training they are looking for.
